KMBC 9 News has confirmed the arrest and obtained a copy of Vrabel's mug shot.

Vrabel was taken into custody in Vevay, Ind., after an incident at the nearby Belterra Casino. He was released after posting $600 bond.

KMBC 9 News learned that the incident involved bottles of alcohol taken from a casino eatery.

In Indiana, the theft of any object, regardless of value, is a Class D felony. The charge carries a sentence of between six months and three years in prison.

"It was an unfortunate misunderstanding, and I take full responsibility for the miscommunication," Vrabel said in a statement to Pro Football Talk through his agent. "I feel comfortable that after talking with the appropriate parties, we will resolve this matter."

Indiana Gaming Commission Director of Enforcement Kenny Rowan said Vrabel was observed by an enforcement agent taking the bottles of alcohol from a deli without paying for them. He said Vrabel was very cooperative during the investigation and posed no problems during the arrest.

Vrabel is one of ten named plaintiffs in the NFL Players Association lawsuit against the current lockout. The case is scheduled for a hearing on Wednesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs said they were aware of the reports about Vrabel, but are not permitted to have contact with him because of the NFL lockout.

"We understand that Mike has communicated publicly that the matter is a misunderstanding for which he takes full responsibility. We hope it is resolved for Mike in a positive way,? the team said, in a statement.

Vrabel was part of the trade that brought quarterback Matt Cassel to Kansas City in early 2009. He was also part of three Super Bowl-winning teams for the New England Patriots.
